Metro Manila and the rest of the country on the other hand will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
THE state weather bureau Pagasa on Tuesday said that an estimated 13 to 16 tropical cyclones could hit the country this year.
At a Palace press briefing, Pagasa Climate Monitoring and Prediction Section chief Ana Solis said this figure is below the average of 19 to 20 cyclones every year.
“For now po, by this year mga around 13 to 16 na bagyo po ang possible po this year – so, ibig sabihin po, maaaring below normal dahil mararamdaman po kasi natin iyong possible effect ng La Niña is last quarter of the year,” Solis said.
“So, for now po 13 to 16 [cyclones] po for this year iyong ating predicted which is below normal doon sa average na 19 to 20 po,” he added.
Earlier, the Department of Science and Technology said that there is 62% that the La Niña would be felt this June.
PAGASA earlier said La Niña is characterized by unusually cooler than average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific (CEEP), as reported on GMA News.
La Niña is usually associated with above normal rainfall conditions, Pagasa said. Its potential adverse impacts include floods and landslide in vulnerable areas, it added.
